Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are?
I can still remember a (newspaper?) picture from the days when water was so short that we had standpipes in the streets: a standpipe poking out of floodwaters. It may or may not have featured on the front page of Private Eye.
.... but at least said floodwaters were caused by rain, not Thames Water mains-pipe leakage. England at its best.
